CELEBRATING EMANCIPATION DAY James Callaway In Macon Telegraph. In a notable speech at Little Rock, Ark., on Emancipation Day, Dr. Wil- kinH, a negro, took occasion to adminis ter a severe rebuke to the authors and promoters of Reconstruction. He said: "The negroes should not forget those who had held out to them the hand of real friendship in those trying days. Those were pretended friends who hud the negro to believe that Mr. Lincoln's proclamation ever contemplated the el evation of the ex-slave to sudden place and power. Such a course only aliena ted the negro’s heat friends from him, and Reconstruction, in its methods, de tached the negro from those with whom his lot hud to be cast. The South was not responsible for this. Our Southern friends begged that we listen not to the Reconstruction leaders who taught us to trust not those whom we had trusted and who trusted us. There had been no friction between us and the Southern people but for those who came among us to alienate us ami teach us impossible ambitions. "On Emancipation Day it is nur duty to free the mind of the white man from the impressions made on him when our race was under the leadership of false friends. Unless we do this our Emanci pation celebration will not mean any thing. I.et us celebrate by returning to our first love, and let ua join hearts and hands with them. * • • Eel us remember that the Southern white man, ruined aa he was by the war, gave us food and homes. He fed us when hun gry, clothed us when nuked, adminis tered to us when sick, and visited us when in prison. Let us not forget who our real friends were. Remember, all you who think that Lincoln's proclama tion set you free, that if so, our white friends were our saviors.” Here Dr. Wilkins describes a scene ery, a more galling yoke, than we ever wore. And let us celebrate by return ing to our first and best love, and let uh join hearts and hands with them and sing with all the soul: " T n©v©r will l©av© or forsake th»»©. Where you live I will live, your Goa shall bo my God. And where you die there will I b© burled.’ "If this celebration shall mean this to us, then ere long we shall have occasion to shout ’Free at last!’ This is the only kind of blow that we may strike which will mean liberty and freedom. It is in this way, and in this way only, that the negro in America will ever be free. Let us first free the white man from the im pressions we made on him under the vi cious leadership of false friends, and then we may hope for him to free us from the bonds which our own hands have welded about our feet. And not until that day arrives can we have an emancipation celebration that will mean anything. "Let us regain the love which we for feited for the few political husks on which we fed, and that love will make us free. At present I think we are fool ish for celebrating an event that has never taken place, and you know it as well as I. But some things did take place on that memorable first day of January. The ruined Southern white man gave us homes and food. He fed us when hungry, clothed us when naked, administereounto us when sick, and vis ited us when in prison. And our Lord says for one to do that is to do it for Him. Let us not forget it, but celebrate it. Remember, all you who think that Lincoln’s proclamation set you free, that if it ia so, our Southern white friends were our best friends.” This is a true picture Dr. Wilkins drawn. But all negroes were not so for tunate as "Aunt June.” In order to build up speedily the negroes into the Republican tuirty, orders were issued from most of the Freedmen’s Bureaus for the negroes to leave the old home, else they would be put hack into slav ery. And the cruelist of all orders was this one. It took the negroes away from their old owners and their children, forced them among strangers, and also separated them from each other, for hardly any two families went to the same place. This order was to break and destroy the ties that existed between the negroes and their former owners. All done to get speedy control for polit ical purposes. Had the negro been let alone after the war and not organized into secret leagues with aliens for leaders, and not been taken out from the influence of the Southern people, but both races been permitted in their own way to ad just themselves to the new conditions, the relations between black and white would now be a far different story. But the South was helpless. Thad Stevens with his noted commit tee of fifteen on Reconstruction were that took place on every old ante-bel lum plantation home. Everyone on the farm at that period will recognize the truth of the following pathetic Btory in Dr. Wilkins' own words: "Please excuse this seeming digres sion. I remember well, as if it were but yesterday, when old mtstruss came into the kitchen and told my mother: " ’Aunt Jane, you are free. As free as I am. And vou can go.’ "She wore a large gray shawl, and as she turned to go I saw tears on her pale cheeks. My mother caught hold of her shawl and with streaming eyes Haiti: " 'Miss Jennie, where shall I go? What shall I do? 1 have nine children and know no one hut you. Why must I leave >ou?' "We were all crying now " ‘Oh. no, Aunt Jane,' she said, ‘you need go nowhere. You can stay right here if you wish, and so long as I have a crust o bread you and your children shall eat. 1 will pay you what wages 1 can. And so E ng as I live, and you stay, if you suffer 1 will suffer too.' "We stayed, and she did suffer, much more than we. This scene was at that moment being enacted in thousands of homes all over this broad land. Those words were as the atar of Bethlehem on that dark night to every negro then on the plantations of the South, as he stood dumbfounded at seeing his old mistress in tears. "And when old master came to his di lapidated home from the war. he said 'amen' to every word that old mistress had said. And all was well, until the ’carpet-bagger' came and, with his damnable practices, preaching and promises, hatched the hell into which the South was plungtd from '65 to ’76, and out of which the negro came bereft of the friendship and help of those whom he knew and who knew him. those whom he loved and who loved him. And the scamps tied with their ill- gotten gains to safer quarters and left us to shift the best we could and meet the storm of an outraged manhood. To day 1 wish you could celebrate the re lease of our friends from a worse slav- How To Give Quinine To Children.

Wherefore the Union Leagues, oathbound; the arming of the negroes, disarming the whites, and the resultant saturnalia of crime and gen eral confusion. Though the negroes were freed, our ao'diers returning from the war were affectionately welcomed by them. They found there had been no crimes, no as saults, no outbreaks, hut conditions peaceful and friendly. And so it was, and would have so continued but for that second invasion of the South, known in history as Reconstruction — that stupendous blunder in statesman ship. The large planters had arranged to parcel out their lands by families, the negroes thus remaining on the farm as a big family. But to make the negro a voter and an asset of the Republican party, the policy of dispersion of ne groes from old homes was pursued. The English language is spoken ly more than 175.000,000 people..

Early in the war Lord Kitchener had said that the struggle might last three years. What seemed a mere rough estimate becomes far more significant examined by the few statistics yet available, which show the wastage of war. Thus it Beems fair to estimate that Germany has now in the field 3,000,000 men, France 2,000,000, Austria 1,000,- 000, Russia 3,000,000. England at no distant date will have 1,000,000 on the continent; Serbia and Belgium may be reckoned to have 250,000. Now, as far as Russia is concerned, her supply of men is, for any ordinary calculation, inexhaustible. That she can keep her European force at 3,000,- 000 for three years, despite battle losses, is hardly debatable. As to Eng land, her ability to maintain an army of 1,000,000 on the continent indefinitely and despite losses is equally to be ac cepted. It is different with France. Her available military population may be reckoned at 4,000,000. Of this she has already lost 1,000,000 by death, capture, disease or wounds. Half of this number may be reckoned as per manently lost. At this rate, France will be reduced at the opening of the third year of war to 2,00o,000. With her allies she will then have 6,000,000 men. But her losses in this year can not be made good, save by the new class coming to the colors in 1917, and levies from her colonies. Germany may be reckoned to have had 6,000,000 men available for service in July, 1914; 600,000 more will be sup plied by the combined classes of 1916 and 1917. German losses in the first six months may be estimated at 1,800,000. At this rate, 1,800,000 will be removed permanently from the German lines in each of the first two years of war. Thus, at the opening of the third, Ger many will have 3,000,000 men to draw on. But her losses thereafter will be definite, because she will have ex hausted her reserve. As to Austria, she has lost more than 1,000,000 already in her many disasters. She may still have 1,000,000 in the field, but a year hence, two years hence, she can hope for no more, and her resources, too, will be completely exhausted. Thus, as the third year of the war opens, not more than 4,000,000 Austro- Germans, the last line, will confront 6,000,000 Russians, British and French, helped by some hundreds of thousands of Slavs and Belgians, behind whom will stand Russian and British reserves of at least 4,000,000. Tim means, with every discount for the roughness of the estimate, that some time in the third year, while Russia and Britain are still able to keep their armies at their pres ent point, Austro-German forces will begin to decline rapidly, and a tremen dous advantage of numbers will belong to the enemies of Germany.

More attention than has yet been given to it is deserved by the psychol ogy of the people who, having seen something in a newspaper, usually an editorial article with which they strong ly disagree, immediately write and mail an angry letter announcing the firm intention to take that paper no more. The apparent purpose of this action— assuming it to be carried out—is to punish the expression of the resented opinions by withdrawing a faction of the paper’s revenue; but underlying that aim is probably a desire, conscious or unconscious, to inspire fear of othtr losses of the same kind and so lo coerce the paper by an appeal to its material interests into a reversal of its policy and attitude on the question at issue. Of course, such a reversal for such a reason would be dishonest as well as cowardly, but he who proclaims the stopping of his subscription doesn't think of that. And how hard to ex plain is it that anybody should be with out the willingness, or even without the eagerness, to hear what can be said against his views or conclusions! Either hisc-nfidence in his own judgment is weak or he prefers to hold notions al ready accepted, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. The reader who will not take a paper with all the utterances of which he can not agree does not want a newspaper at all, or to kno* what can be known about the subjects he considers im portant or interesting — he wants a partisan organ that will keep him in a comfortable twilight. Papers of that kir, 1 were once numerous, but they ers scarce nowadays, and they are becom ing fewer every year. Til COLLECTOR TlTEIfS OLD Expected to Resign on Account of Feebleness — Gained Strength and Twenty-four Pounds by Taking Vinol. Corinth, Miss.; — "I am a city tax collector and seventy-four years of age. I was in a weak, run-down condition so that I became exhausted by every little exertion. My druggist told me about Vinol, and I decided to take it. In a week I noticed considerable improve ment; I continued its use and now I have gained twenty pounds in weight, and feel much stronger. I consider Vinol a fine tonic to create strength for old people.”—J, A. Price, Corinth, Miss. As one grows old their organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth, circulation is poor, the blood gets thin, the appetite poor and diges tion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener and body builder for old folks because it creates a good healthy appetite, strengthens digestion, enriches the blood, improves circulation and in this natural manner builds up, strengthens and invigorates feeble, run-down, nerv ous and aged people, and if it does not do all we say, we will pay back your money.
